7.42 CMPLX — Complex conversion function

Description:

CMPLX(X [, Y [, KIND]]) returns a complex number where X is converted to
the real component. If Y is present it is converted to the imaginary
component. If Y is not present then the imaginary component is set to
0.0. If X is complex then Y must not be present.

Standard:

Fortran 77 and later

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = CMPLX(X [, Y [, KIND]])

Arguments:

X

The type may be INTEGER, REAL,
or COMPLEX.

Y

(Optional; only allowed if X is not
COMPLEX.) May be INTEGER or REAL.

KIND

(Optional) An INTEGER initialization
expression indicating the kind parameter of the result.

Return value:

The return value is of COMPLEX type, with a kind equal to
KIND if it is specified. If KIND is not specified, the
result is of the default COMPLEX kind, regardless of the kinds of
X and Y.
